I have a 1981 xs650 I had a guy from the xs650 australia club member rebuild my engine as it was a basket case and was missing a hell of a lot of parts and he has plenty of access to the parts needed. I have put only 114 k's on it and the cam chain adjuster hosing is pissing oil. There is 6 bolts attaching it to the barrels and I found the 2 bottom threads are stripped in the barrels. I bought a helicoil kit but due to the engine mount on the case where it connects to the upright of the engine I can not drill them out without pulling the barrels out.
I ordered a flexible drill shaft to try do it without pulling the barrels out. I really don't want to have to pull it all apart again. So my question is, Is there some kind of product I can use to be able to get the bolts to tighten them enough?
